Inhumane work conditions

Ill try to be as vague as possible because im paranoid. I work in a large chain store in an outdoor apartment with plants and stuff. Im outside for 7 and a half hours a day. We have no fans out here to help with the insane heat (has been up to 30 C and will get even higher later into the summer). We have a greenhouse that is significantly hotter than it already is outside and we dont have fans there either and often have to be in there doing stuff for a while everyday. We will get sent home and get hours reduced for the simplest things such as eating sunflower seeds (god forbid its dirty outside am i right) or taking a couple minutes to be under the shade. My manager is extremely strict and i can tell they dont like me. I have to endure this…

My manager is extremely strict and i can tell they dont like me. I have to endure this job for at least a few more months (its seasonal job) and im already dreading the rest but ill power through it ig. And to top it all off, we do all this work outside all day (including lifting heavy objects etc) for barely above minimum wage (not even a dollar). And livable wage is at least. 4 dollars above min. I don’t understand how this is legal but it is. Ive asked for a fan out here and they said they would see about it but that was days ago. And manager can just go inside if they want while we cant even take a second to cool off without getting in trouble.
